Home Page Text Code Question

Can anyone tell me what code I should add to my home page to display text I type in the "Home Page" box on the "Page Text" screen? Apparently the template I chose for my store does not include it, and tech support just told me they do not provide that type of support. I have no clue what the variable is, and I don't want to change my template and lose all my customization just to figure out what its supposed to be.

I would like to welcome customers, give an introduction, or describe sales I may have.

If you've just checked with Live Chat I would suggest submitting a support ticket. The page text should update regardless of your template (unless maybe it's a custom template?)

The was the response from submitting a ticket.

I'm using their pre-designed template Mekanik. I was looking at the templates, and their demo doesn't have home screen text either. I assumed that's how its designed.

Since that template was designed by Highwire, they should help you with it. I would think that everything on the back-end should work with all templates. But that is just my opinion.

This is how my home page template enters that code:

      <div id="welcome">
        
        <p>$!Store.HomePageText          </p>
        </div>

Thanks Handmade... that worked.

I thought the same thing, since they made it tech support should help. I was told to visit http://bisidesigns.com or http://designmycart.com. I haven't been there, but I thought since my page was designed by highwire they should have been the ones to help me.

As a side note, I emailed designmycart requesting a custom page a few days ago, and I have yet to hear back.
